The Azanian Sea

The Azanian Sea was founded in 2009 as a web resource and online hub for information, inspiration and informed commentary on the African presence in the Indian Ocean. The name is derived from the famous 8th century travel document the Periplus of the Erythrean Sea and refers to the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean adjacent to Africa.The mission of The Azanian Sea is to provide high quality web content about Africa and the Indian Ocean and create spaces for cultural exchange and dialogue. The Indian Ocean has been called the 'cradle of globalization' and in our globally interconnected world, there is a need for spaces which discuss the impact of economic and social globalization and its impact on local culture. We believe in making knowledge relevant and illuminative— in bringing the academy to the streets of Dar-es-Salaam or to the souq in Muscat. We strive to reveal the ongoing ways cultures and societies deal with difference, hybridity, inequality and change. We feature travel journals, guest articles, artwork, pictures, poetry, and interviews from Oman, Kenya, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Eastern Congo, Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, India, Mauritius, Madagascar, and more. We welcome contributions in English, Kiswahili, Arabic, and French. Please contact nmathews@azaniansea.com for more information. احلاَََّّ و سحلاَََand Karibu Sana.
